Has anyone actually seen one of these cars driving full speed? How efficient is the Hydrogen cell? How far can you go? How fast can you go? Is it one of those things that we'll be rethinking in 6 months? How expensive will these be? Will it be so cost prohibitive that the average American won't be able to afford them? If so, will there be prohibitions put in place to prevent us from driving our old Gasoline powered cars?

There's a lot of answers that need to come forth before I sign on to this new mode of transportation. If it means I have to make a million bucks a year to drive, then I'm out, just like 99 percent of America.

I saw one of the cars that run using the Hydrogen type fuel cell. Actually i work for a company that manufactures the membrane used to seperate the hydrogen & oxygen. The car engine compartment was filled with stuff. The back seat had a bunch of tanks/canisters etc. It looked rediculous but, you have to start somewhere. Only the rich had the first automobiles too. I'd rather pay the price than die from pollution..I don't think oil is the only interest we have in the far east. Power Power power, besides we could of had a great resource for oil from Mexico. You can thank Carter for not negotiating on that one.

How fast can you go

That and how fast can you get to top speed? I'm not driving a car that does a 15 second quarter mile
